OKLAHOMA BIGFOOT EXPEDITION, BRING YOUR WALLET

The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO) has an expedition (as they term them) to Oklahoma the fourth week of September. Organized by Troy Hudson (no relation), this field event will run from September 25-28, 2008 and will explore previously noted hotspots in the southeastern mountains. Hudson is a federal law enforcement officer from Texas, and a member of the BFRO.

To purchase a spot on the expedition, first timers will need to pony up $300 to cover the BFRO's "overhead". In the FAQ section of their website, the organization advises participants to "prepare as if you will be...completely relying on yourself." It is each participants responsibility to secure camping equipment, camping fees (if applicable), food expenses, and transportation costs, which may just be the biggest expense of all these days. I cannot imagine, after all that expense, exactly what the BFRO is bringing to the table. Some scent baits and recorded primate calls? With groups ranging in size from 25 - 40 people, the BFRO can make as much as $12,000 off of each expedition. That's a lot of overhead.

However, if you are REALLY jazzed about such an expedition, led by arguably one of the premier organizations in the business, and $300 isn't that much, by all means do it. However, if you are like many in today's economy, and struggling to cut needless expenses, you might get in touch with local Bigfoot groups or enthusiasts and plan your own weekend getaway.

I hope to attend a BFRO expedition sometime, the timing always seems to be off a little each time I hear of an area I would like to go to. This year's Honobia Oklahoma Bigfoot Festival and Sasquatch Conference is Oct 3rd & 4th and I already have plans to attend it. Dr. Jeff Meldrum will be the keynote speaker at the conference, which is being hosted by the Mid-America Bigfoot Research Center ( www.mid-americabigfoot.com ) and I really looking forward to hearing the presentations. As for shelling out $300, if someone wants a crash course on Bigfoot research techniques, attending one of these expeditions sounds like the way to get that. I am not a Bigfoot expert but I do enjoy sharing what little I feel like I have learned so far about Bigfoot. I even have a few trail cam photos at a website, if you can see the Bigfoot in them that's great, and if you can not..that's fine with me too. The trail cameras are 35mm and not digital, and I do have the negatives to each photo. These trail cam photos were taken in the Arbuckle Mtns of Oklahoma! Please have a look at www.bigfootphoto.net

THE AUTHOR

Cullan Hudson is the author of Strange State: Mysteries and Legends of Oklahoma, a nonfiction collection of strange-but-true tales from the Sooner State. Many of the tales included in this collection were investigated personally by the author. Hudson's short story, "The Iron Door: Curse of the Sierra Jumanos", was included in the 2005 Red Dirt Anthology and his op-ed pieces have been read across the country. Hudson is the co-author of the supernatural thriller, The Mound, a novel set in Eastern Oklahoma. A meticulous researcher, Hudson has, in one reviewer’s words, "left few stones unturned in his search for the truth." While his interest in the paranormal stems from personal experience, Hudson remains a true skeptic, demanding the rigorous application of logic to any investigation.
